1. A method for creating a distance dependent display, comprising:
- providing an image separating mask having a plurality precision slits arranged in a pattern set so as to create different parallel viewing windows at different viewing distances;
generating an interlaced image that combines strips from a plurality of images according to said pattern; and
combining said interlaced image and said image separating mask to create a distance dependent display that allows an observer to view substantially separately each of said plurality of images from one of a plurality of different viewing positions at a plurality of different distances along a virtual perpendicular to the face of said distance dependent display;
wherein said plurality of images are interlaced so that image strips of each one of said plurality of images are viewed by both eyes of said observer via the same precision slits of said plurality of plurality precision slits of said image separating mask when said observer is in one of said plurality of different viewing positions.

Abstract
A method for creating a distance dependent display that comprises providing an image separating mask having a plurality precision slits arranged in a pattern, generating an interlaced image from a plurality of images according to the pattern, and combining the interlaced image and the image separating mask to allow an observer to view substantially separately each the image from a respective of a plurality of different distances from the image separating mask.

9. A distance dependent display, comprising:
-
an image separating mask having a plurality of precision slits arranged in a pattern set so as to create different parallel viewing windows at different viewing distances; and an interlaced image that combines strips from a plurality of images, each said image being interlaced to match said pattern; wherein said interlaced image and said plurality of precision slits are aligned to allow an observer to view substantially separately each said image from one of a plurality of different viewing positions at a plurality of different distances from said image separating mask along a virtual perpendicular to the face of the distance dependent display such that each said image is substantially separately viewed by said observer from another of said plurality of different distances; wherein said plurality of images are interlaced so image strips of each one of said plurality of images are viewed by both eyes of said observer via the same precision slits of said plurality of plurality precision slits of said image separating mask when said observer is in one of said plurality of different viewing positions. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for creating an integral viewing sheet, comprising:
-
providing an image separating mask having a plurality of precision slits arranged in a predefined pattern set so as to create different parallel viewing windows at different viewing distances that applies an estimated blur; interlacing strips from a plurality of images to form an interlaced image according to said predefined pattern, at least one of said interlaced image and plurality of images being processed according to said estimated blur; and creating an integral viewing sheet by fixating said image separating mask in parallel to said interlaced image; wherein said predefined pattern is set so that in each one of a plurality of different viewing positions at a plurality of different distances from the image separating mask, along a virtual perpendicular to the face of said distance dependent display, an observer views, by both eyes and via the same precision slits of said plurality of plurality precision slits of said image separating mask when said observer is in one of said plurality of different viewing positions, image strips of a different image of said plurality of images such that each said image is substantially separately viewed by said observer from another of said plurality of different distances. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An article for viewing images of an interlaced image, comprising:
-
an image separating mask having a plurality of precision slits arranged in an irregular pattern set so as to create different parallel viewing windows at different viewing distances; and an interlaced image from strips of a plurality of images, each said image being interlaced to match said irregular pattern; wherein said interlaced image and said plurality of precision slits are combined to allow an observer to view substantially separately each said image from a respective of a plurality of a plurality of different viewing positions at a plurality of different distances from said image separating mask along a virtual perpendicular to the face of the article; wherein said plurality of images are interlaced so that said observer views, by both eyes and via the same precision slits of said plurality of plurality precision slits of said image separating mask, image strips of one of said plurality of images substantially separately from other of said plurality of images at each one of said plurality of different viewing positions such that each said image is substantially separately viewed by said observer from another of said plurality of different distances. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
